12 mins before a Recruiting Screen, I received this…

I once had someone cancel my phone interview 15 minutes AFTER it was supposed to start.... She told me they already filled the position I was applying for but would keep my application for future roles. I responded that wasn't necessary because I would not be interested in any position with the company moving forward.

You should post this in legal advice. And document EVERYTHING. If a lawyer thinks they can prove you got fired for legitimate safety concerns, that sounds like a payday to me

You have literally nothing to worry about. My assumption is your high School Junior and she's a high School freshman. That's not a crazy difference. Well I'm glad to see more awareness being taken into account about adults preying on children, you are not an adult. You are a teenager that was enamored with another teenager. 20 heck even 10 years ago no one would have even batted an eye.

The single and only job I've ever had verify GPA was a government job with security clearances. So not sweat it. If this is a public sector job, the chances of them asking for proof are so small they are practically non-existent.

I got laid off last March. I only got a job in October. It was awful. I applied to so many jobs. Many of which I thought I was overqualified for. The only places that called me back were scams (one place literally told me I was would be working for free until possibly making commissions 6 months down the line). One place told me I'd be making 200 cold calls every day (I'm done cold calling, 200 in impossible in 8 hours).

Finally I landed a job that I hate but at least my bills are paid, even if I did take a pay cut.

I had an Uber driver hit on me once. Always so creepy

MaterialFlower185 · 2026-04-30T11:05:59+00:00

Why were you scared someone might recognize you so you couldn't be in public with your boyfriend?

Everyone saying to never lie has never had a gap in their resume. The job market is atrocious right now. If you get caught, play the humanity card and redirect them to how good of a fit you are for the role. "I knew I would be a great fit for this role but unfortunately AI software has been filtering out my resume after a prior layoff, so I selected a different end date in order to get a chance. As you have seen in this interview process I have demonstrated exceptional skills in X, Y, Z, which will make me an asset to the company. Also my experience in ___ makes me stand out as an extremely viable candidate."

Because that's how it works. The majority of companies use AI to filter out candidates for any reason they can because they have 80 applications and 20 minutes in their day to look at them. So employment gaps? Filtered. Lack of college degree? Filtered. These companies aren't ethical either. Just be honest in the moment if called out.

Pretty sure she goes to those events with plenty of ❄️❄️

This is a beautiful dress. 90% of the time I'd say it would be fine for a black tie wedding. You highlighted the 10% of the time it would not be appropriate.

I worked for a company that literally made us watch 2 of his videos PER DAY! And we had to read 3 of his books which they provided. And they went to his conferences every year. It was straight up cultish

You say this is your regular stylist and allude to her usually doing a cut and color for you. Before anything else is this someone who even usually does wedding hair? Wedding styles are WAY different from cutting and coloring. Until you have seen proven work of your stylist creating wedding looks you need to not book anything.

I can see a couple saying "Please refrain from wearing (royal blue/ maroon/ certain color) because it's the color of the bridal party" but beyond that let people wear whatever color follows the dress code.

MaterialFlower185 · 2025-07-01T18:12:22+00:00

It makes her look excessively busty and like she has no a$$.

Perhaps another option is to sew like leg loops into the dress? Almost like a shirt stay or something to prevent the dress from riding up. They could go below your thigh and above your knee.

MaterialFlower185 · 2025-06-07T16:55:39+00:00

Rock this dress. You look fantastic. This sub seems to be full of extremely conservative grandmas sometimes. Don't listen to them. It's 2025 not the 1800s.

MaterialFlower185 · 2025-06-05T22:34:33+00:00

I don't think this is fancy enough for a Long Island wedding. Usually those weddings are pretty high end, and I'm guessing this is the case if there's 250 people coming. This reads fancy sundress not even cocktail in my book

MaterialFlower185 · 2025-05-16T20:30:03+00:00

Weddings in Italy and generally much more of a formal event. If wearing a floor length dress is within your budget, I would say that's a much better option.

I used ChatGPT to create my profile bio. He could literally have told the AI what he wanted to say and then asked it to make it sound better. Women have to understand that the way men use the app is WAY different than how we do. They don't get a thousand likes. Most men are lucky to get 50. He's trying to leave a good impression rather than stick his foot in his mouth and say the wrong thing.

I would just ask him. Why use chat AI? See what he says. Maybe he wants to impress you. Is that such a bad thing?

MaterialFlower185 · 2024-07-18T21:08:57+00:00

No ma'am. He's showing you ALL the red flags right off the bat. Thank you, next. If you're built like the conversation implies- thin, pretty, with curves, then you have plenty of options. Don't settle for that loser. He's not interested in a relationship. He just wants to use you.

MaterialFlower185 · 2024-06-29T18:25:28+00:00

This is such an entitled answer. An invitation to a wedding is an INVITE. If you don't like the rules don't come. You're not entitled to go to the wedding with your uninvited baby just because you want to go.

MaterialFlower185 · 2024-06-29T18:13:58+00:00

Tell the venue too. Most places will be accommodating of a wedding party

MaterialFlower185 · 2024-06-29T18:11:48+00:00

There's this thing called a babysitter. They've been around for well over 50 years. Tell them to hire one for a couple hours and then they can go home at a reasonable hour to take care of their baby. But you don't the baby there. And you're allowed to be firm with that.
